RECIPE NOTES :
Notes: You have to have little acid in the oats such as lemon juice or dahi, without this oats will cause bloating in your stomach. Baking powder is optional, but it does make the mixture light and airy. The only difference in the two versions is. The powder version will make the chilla’s a bit dry.
